Would You Wear: A Cape Dress?

The fall/winter 2013 runways showed us that capes may be the jackets of choice for next season’s upcoming cold weather months, but would you wear a cape dress?

Many of us still remember Gwyneth Paltrow’s Tom Ford Oscar cape dress, because it was the most beautiful ensemble most of us had ever seen. Ready to wear clothing seems to have taken inspiration from that gown as well, because now, cape dresses are everywhere.

Classic and simple, while complicated at the same time, this Zara cape sleeve dress ($89.90, zara.com) would be the perfect way to stand out at your next party.

Or opt for this Asos Shift Dress with a pleated cape ($94, asos.com).

This silhouette is definitely different, and one I’d love to try. What do you think? Would you wear this style?
